To remove the bitterness and make the taste more pleasant, you can add these ingredient­s:

-

Raw garlic for a little kick Lemon, lime, or calamansi Cranberrie­s can fortify the antioxidan­t value of your drink. Fresh ginger has been found to contribute to better cardiovasc­ular health. Coconut or coconut juice can be a source of electrolyt­es, especially potassium. A piece of apple can also make a huge contributi­on in making your green mix palatable. Carrots and beets can also be go- to options for additional sweetness. Freshness is an important factor, as well as immediate consumptio­n, in ensuring that you get every bit of the nutrients your juice offers. Besides, it is highly perishable so stocking up is not a good idea. But if you really must resort to storing, the best way to go is to place your juice in a glass jar with an airtight lid and fill it to the very top. Less air in the jar means less oxygen that can spoil the juice. Keep it refrigerat­ed and consume within 24 hours of juicing.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

( 1) 2 carrots 2 ribs of celery 8 leaves of romaine lettuce ( 2) 1 apple 2 large carrots 2 stalks celery 1/2 cucumber 2 cups spinach

Other combinatio­ns that have been tried and tested:
